when would you want the Butterfly valves in there?
so you are saying, there are 2 sets of valves. The VTCS and the VICA. They make up the total VCTS?
what changes with them present vs. removed.
On a stock 626 i assume they are present, and one would have to remove them?

no, you don't want them lol...they are restricting the airflow
you may need to remove them but youll have to look at the manifold when you get it
on the 626 there are only one set of butterfly valves, up at the intake ports....the stock msp manifold uses both sets and splits into dual runners rather than single runners
single runner + no butterflies is what you want

*edit ^Ninj'd ME 
you want to get the ones without the flaps...
butterfly = more restriction
you don't want any restrictions in the IM... i didn't know that the 626 had VICS because it's a single runner manifold... but i have seen them with the VTCS.
I would just get the one from PG. Your sure to get the correct one.

There is 2 different models or something? If you get a 626 mani with VCTS you cannot remove them?

Id love to, but shipping something of that size and weight to canada would SUCK!

it doesn't have both, as I posted above lol
the stock msp manifold has both
you can remove them still
the federal version doesn't have any if I recall, the cali-emissions version does
but the pg garage is your best bet, all the work is done for you
